How We are Advancing the Future of Coaching

Have you set goals to advance yourself professionally or are you treading water in a pool of status quo?

Where are you drawing your fuel that keeps you jazzed to continue to do that which inspired you to embark a career as a professional coach?

As the third largest Chapter in Canada, ICF Vancouver is committed to advancing the future of coaching by focusing on what matters most to you and your personal and professional development as a coach. Whether you are an external coach (working as a solopreneur or member of a coaching firm), an internal coach (supporting managers, leaders and teams) or both – our commitment is to help you achieve your goals.

We believe the best way for this to happen is to create meaningful Chapter activities and programming designed to help- you develop the practice of coaching at whatever stage of your coaching journey. Specifically, this means:

All this is in service of advancing your personal development, practice and world – as we collectively Advance the Future of Coaching.
